About Eliza Jade Brown, LCSW-S
Hi, my name is Eliza (she/her).
I am a Master’s-level therapist in full-time private practice and an LCSW-S (Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Supervisor) in Texas.
I have completed advanced psychotherapy training as a NARM Master Therapist, and I serve on the Board of Directors for Kasamahan, a Filipino mental health nonprofit. I meet and consult with mental health professionals located all over and even outside the United States from both communities. Locally, I give back through supporting AFSSA's counseling program which offers free counseling for Asian Americans facing domestic violence and financial hardship.
Before opening my private practice, Mindfulscape in 2021, I worked in a variety of settings such as group private practice, outpatient clinics, psychiatric hospitals, and with the local court system. I provided individual and group therapy, and consultation within multidisciplinary teams. These professional experiences provide me with valuable insights on the many ways people navigate their mental health with the systems in place.
Although I have supported clients to address more mental health related challenges than I can list, I consider my specialties as Complex PTSD and ADHD based on my advanced therapy training and my earned clinical and lived experiences. I have found both are often intertwined with and can underly chronic anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, and struggles with coping mechanisms to where they impact self-esteem, important relationships, and the ability to maintain chosen responsibilities.
Regarding some personal history, I am a first-generation Filipino American immigrant, born in Manila with my ancestral land along the Marikina River and the Sierra Madres to the east, and further south in Polangui near Mayon Volcano. After immigration, I was raised mostly in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in a suburban, working class home. Outside of Texas, US and Luzon, Philippines, I have familiarity with life in Chicago, Illinois and Wellington, New Zealand. My experiences shape my work, and allows me to recognize the cultural complexity clients may bring into the therapy room.
In my time outside sessions, I enjoy painting landscapes, learning more about indigenous psychology and environmentalism, writing and often re-writing information on what I have learned for my practice and other organizations, exploring natural spaces, and nurturing relationships within my family of origin and family by marriage.
Although it doesn't paint the entire picture, I resonate with the INFP-A personality in my love for creativity and authenticity, sensitivity to others, and appreciation of nature.
